Boston Police May Have Prevented a Massacre at the Pokemon World Championships

Wow. Thank goodness that they were caught quickly. If they weren't then who knows what could've happened.

Especially during a gaming convention.

THEY BLASTED OFF AGAIIIIIIIIIIN.... ding!

Has the following happened yet?

1: Someone blamed videogames for this?

2: The inevitable non discussion on gun control?

I'm still wondering what kind of mental sickness those guys have. There were kids inside. Also, hell, why the fuck shoot on a Pokémon event? There is less than zero sense in this.

Edited by myself. Just in case it sounded too... Extreme.

Not 1 as far as I know, but I'm seeing several discussions on 2.

 

I do ponder what's happened in the last two decades that's caused these shootings to happen more frequently. Sure, part of it is probably media bias, but I think there's a legitimate increase in gun violence.

 

It's terrifying too, because other kinds of crime are actually slowly falling due to an aging population. What is wrong with the youth? Why do they feel the need to be violent?

It's very fortunate these people were dumb enough to announce their plans on Twitter.

The Internet has made the bad guys in general dumber, that's for sure. Good thing, I think.

I heard about this from a friend of mine and thank goodness these people weren't able to carry out their plot! Who knows how many people would've fallen victim if they had!
